Ancestry has a "vital" forErnest & an Edmund from Edmonton...and has an S. Slocock living in Ontario...so there is one around to contact...   J.J.

  Maybe when John gets the information for you, some of the aforementioned might ring a bell or two...  J.J.

Sandy,

I checked for an obituary in the Vancouver paper for Walter Edmond Slocock and found nothing. His wife is shown as Jean Slocock and is the informant on his death record which I sent. Today I checked for an obituary for Jean Slocock age 69, who J.J. mentioned earlier, died September 20, 1992, but could not find an obit in the Vancouver Sun. Too bad I can't get her death record but it is too recent.

Thank you both very much for continued advice and information.

Have been off line a few days celebrating my Wedding Anniversary.

Sandy

[J.J.]

Happy Anniversary! 

I do wish we could have helped...!!  J.J.

HI J.J.

You and John have most certainly helped.

Thank you once again.

Walter Edmund Slocock was actually Irish which is why you have not been able to find him on the UK census returns etc. He was born in Carlow in 1908 and you will find him on the 1911 census of Ireland www.census.nationalarchives.ie

Welcome to Rootschat, ashdod
yeah I guess that was never stated in the actual thread, which we should do in case any descendants see the thread ...The death had him as born May 8 1908 Castletown, Ireland his wife Jean Langlands has also now passed...https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FLLF-YM7
He had a third name as well...Walter Edmund M Slocock https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FBP9-527

I don't think there is aany other information to be dug as as not her ancestor...but I think Sandy was hoping to give the family the postcard she had in her possession...so all we can do is wait until a rellie claims it...
